biography;
TW: perfectionism, body dysmorphia, eating disorder, parental loss. It was apparent the instant that Melanie Brudenell entered the world that something was awry; hair too thick and dark, complexion lacking the paleness that said she fully belonged to the Brudenell bloodline the way that her siblings did. It was in that very hospital room that the secrecy of her motherâs affair broke, shouts and contempt contained to the secrecy of their birthing suite the beginning of what would become a background soundtrack in the girlâs life. It was easy to shield the truth when she was first born, too young for her lack of appearance in the public eye to raise many brows, pictures of the child only available in the forms of a swaddled bundle that the Brudenell pair seemed to hold as much adoration for as they did with every one of their previous blessings. The family worked hard to keep their scandal a secret, young ears reminded to keep her head down, to focus on her studies and of the importance of staying out of the sun lest the differences between her and her siblings became too clear. Be it due solely to her parents pressure or a desire within herself, Melanie excelled within all of her studies, ranking not only the top of her classes but rumored to have the best academic grades among the current British royals. It was even within extracurricular activities that she seemed to stand out, her teachers encouraging a natural talent that they saw within her in ballet classes. It became the driving force in her life, joining the White Lodge campus at eleven years old before transitioning to the Royal Ballet School. After graduating, she was quickly chosen as a soloist, debuting on the stage for the first time at just eighteen before being promoted to principal dancer the day after her show's premiere. Between pressures from her family, ballet instructors and the world as a whole, Melanie had developed many mental health issues at a young age; perfectionism, body dismorphia and an eating disorder that had been slowly eating away at the girl. At only twenty-two years old, she was hospitalized in a life threatening condition, a string of issues that her refusal to take care of herself had earned. The family had an inability to keep the word quiet and shamed the girl for the embarrassment she had caused rather than surrounding her with the support she desperately needed. Once she was finally cleared to leave the hospital, she was sent to a treatment center where she stayed for a month, the only visitation she received during that time from a woman she had never seen, her paternal grandmother. Melanie had always known that she didnât belong to her father, a secret that her parents had never tried to hide the way they had hid her true fatherâs identity. He had been fired from the grounds, attempts to make contact repeatedly denied, but both him and her grandmother had followed her movements as closely as they were able, a desperate attempt at maintaining what small connection they were able. It was only with the space her parents shame had created that allowed a connection to finally be made, her grandmother offering an open door to a new beginning. It had come at a time that both her and her father seemed desperately in need of, her health struggles rivaled by a decline in her fatherâs own. Instead of returning to the life and family that she had known, Melanie boarded a plane with her aunt to Roswell. She got an apartment, took up a job at her grandmotherâs floral shop, Stalk Market Floral and was granted four months where she was able to get to know her father before his passing. Things have been far from easy; both mental and physical health presenting as mountains she still has to climb, the extent of her untreated disorder having caused irreversible damage to her body, years spent trying to deconstruct who she was told to be in search of who she truly is, but thereâs a joy and lightness to the girl that hadnât existed before and for the first time in her life, sheâs fighting for herself.Â
headcanons;
even before their meeting, her father had always referred to her as meilani, a name more properly tied to her true roots. after leaving her parents and going to join him and her grandmother, she took on the name in place of her birthname, feeling it was who she was and was meant to be.Â
still dances from time to time, though only for herself. she struggles with determining if itâs an actual passion or simply what sheâs used to/comfortable doing.Â
still struggles deeply her mental health issues; perfectionism, anxiety, body dysmorphia and eating disorder. only know sheâs more aware that these are issues she has and actively tries to care for herself rather than succumbing to them.Â
wanted connections;
neighbor(s).
friendships: positive influence, negative influence, maybe someone whoâs aware of her disorder and has attempted to assist her in some ways, checking in on her, etc?
intimate: ex-something?, one night stand, hook up, flirtationship, the like. sheâs still incredibly self conscious and struggles with body image so these will likely be limited but I also imagine her having some of these after four years in town.Â
literally anything: i am so open to any other ideas/thoughts anyone may have, please do not hesitate to hit me up with whatever you may be thinking.
